Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love
Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain's ashes have been stolen, according to his troubled widow Courtney Love.
The legendary singer's ashes were reportedly swiped during a robbery at Love's Los Angeles home recently.
Love had kept the grunge musician's ashes in a pink bear-shaped bag, along with a strand of his golden locks.
Clothes and thousands of dollars worth of jewellery were also taken from Love's home about two weeks ago, it's being claimed.
The callous theft has apparently left Love feeling "suicidal".
She says, "I can't believe anyone would take Kurt's ashes from me. I find it disgusting right now I'm suicidal. If I don't get them back I don't know what I'll do.
"They were all I had left of my husband. I used to take them everywhere with me just so I could feel Kurt was still with me. Now it feels like I have lost him all over again."
Cobain killed himself with a shotgun in 1994 while high on heroin. It's a fair assumption to make that Love has never recovered from the trauma.
Some of Cobain's ashes were reportedly scattered in a Buddhist temple in New York, others near his home in Washington State, and the remainder stayed with Love.
There are two likely scenarios here:
* some sticky-fingered waste of skin did actually go on the rob in Love's nest, and swiped the stash of ash; or
*Love tossed her beloved ashes out with the kitty litter.
You decide.
Bless her, Love's as mad as a bag of snakes.
I'll never forget
when she gate crashed a Madonna interview by tossing her compact mirror at her.
Wonder how long it'll be before Cobain's ashes debut on eBay...

Address the mess
Amy Winehouse staked her career in the heart after a shambolic performance at the Lisbon music festival this weekend.
After leaving 90,000 fans waiting for almost an hour, the jazz wreck turned up on stage and gave what some have politely described as a "distracted" performance.
Hoarse and complaining of a sore throat, Wino apologised to the already booing crowd for her lateness, and then proceeded to mumble her way through hits like Rehab.
She was a total mess. And those conspicuous scratches on her arm made another appearance, too.
Her management/record company should have intervened here and not let her take to the stage. Let her save what dignity she has left.
Mediocre Madge
Madonna's video for new single

At best, it's a mediocre video for a below par song. Very disappointing.
Click quick, guys, because Warners is on the warpath and yanking this video down at will.

Fascinating.

Anyway, while I'm down there, I might as well tell you about the other hotness that is Jake Gyllenhaal.
Word has it that he's totally smitten with latest bird Reese Witherspoon and wants to start making babies with the
Legally Blonde
star.
A source tells
OK!
Magazine that Gyllenhaal loves spending time with Witherspoon's two kids, eight-year-old daughter Ava and four-year-old son Deacon, and sees himself as father material.
"He knows he might be jumping the gun thinking of kids, but he knows that Reese is the one.
"He laughs and says he needs to propose and do this the right way. It really is first comes love, then comes marriage - cheesy as that sounds, it's the way he thinks!"
The source adds: "Reese has admitted that Jake has grown from when they first met into this very dependable dad type. He's ready to have his whole life change."

Guns 'n' ammo
Angelina Jolie, who is
with twins btw, has told the
Mail on Sunday
that she
and isn't afraid to use them.
In an interview with the newspaper she says, "If anybody comes into my home and tries to hurt my kids, I've no problem shooting them."
Something tells me she's not joking.
Jolie good
Jolie looks milflicious on the cover of the latest
Vanity Fair
magazine.
she talks about disciplining her kids with star charts, how she 'feels married' to Brad, and how she found having a C-section 'fascinating'. Righto.
More on Jolie...
According to a new interview she's finally ended her longstanding feud with her father Jon Voight.
The pair has not spoken since 2002, when he proclaimed during a TV interview that he thought Jolie had "severe emotional problems". The actress cut him out of her life as a result.
But Jolie now says that she's prepared to start talking to Voight again.
She tells Australia's
Sydney Morning Herald
newspaper, "We are going to try to get to know each other and maybe try not to be this daddy and daughter, but to be there for each other as friends in the coming years."
Voight also declared in a recent interview that the pair plans to meet.
"I'm sure we will, yeah," he said.
See, blood is thicker than mud. Hurrah!
Just a small tip, Voight: If you're really serious about a reunion, you might want to
Is that a lettuce between your teeth, or are you just happy to see me?

Some old broad named Lauren Hutton, a model by all accounts, has criticised
Sex and the City
for portraying women as sluts.
Speaking on
The Today Show
, she said:
"It's written by guys, who happen to be gay, who are sluts. That's what I think.
"Let's face it: Most men are sluts. That's what testosterone is supposed to do. As a hunter, if you stayed alive after 30, nature wanted your genes out there. Women were just trying to get the best sperm to make a masterpiece.
"You have a bunch a guys who are sluts, writing for women and telling them they are supposed to act like this."
Word has it that she's never actually seen a full episode of
SATC
, so, quite frankly, she can keep her Neanderthal opinions to herself.
Yeah,

Pants man
Jessica Simpson has apparently approached Jennifer Aniston and warned her to stay away from former beau John Mayer. But it's not what you think...
Simpson is said to be trying to warn the former
Friends
star to be careful with Mayer, because of his legendary lothario ways.
A source says: "Jessica wants Jen to be aware of what she's letting herself get into with John. She doesn't want her to make the same mistakes. John is a ladies man."
And a friend of Mayer seems to confirm my suspicions about him: "He'll spend every waking minute talking to someone and spending time with them and then move on to the next girl."
He's not a keeper, sweetie.
